Fun fact. Horses are unguligrade animals, meaning they walk on the tips of their digits rather than the soles of their feet. What looks like a horse’s leg below the knee is actually mostly one elongated middle finger ending in the hoof.

Baby octopus. You can find 3-month-old ones which are at the size of a quarter and some 1-week old at the size of a fingernail. But when first born, an octopus is only about the size of a pea.

Dodo birds went extinct because they trusted humans too much. they were very social, and humans hunted and ate them. Endemic to Mauritius, when Dutch sailors arrived in the late 1500s, the dodos would calmly approach people out of curiosity, making them very easy to hunt. Humans did hunt and eat them (they were a convenient source of fresh meat for sailors), and the birds were described as social and curious. Their exctintion was accelerated by invasive species that humans accidentally (or intentionally) brought with them: rats, pigs, cats, dogs, and monkeys that ate dodo eggs and chicks (dodos nested on the ground). The last confirmed sighting of a dodo was around the 1660s, less than 100 years after humans first arrived. Their slow reproduction (only one egg per year) made recovery impossible.

Mikan works as a stationmaster at the Ciaotou Sugar Factory Station on the Kaohsiung Metro in Taiwan. He was originally a local cat who lived near the station, but the staff and passengers cared for him and he became the "face of the station".
